DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Very nice! That drone is pretty damn nice.

 

Thanks! Still getting the hang of flying it around but so far i love it!

 

No worries @dwaltdtx, I was planning on sending you a PM once I was able to drive without pain... Really aggravated what ever I had done to my side on last wedn installing my sliders and now when I hit too large of a bump/turn the wheel/breath too deep, basically do anything, i'm getting a really sharp pain on my side. Ended up giving in and leaving work today to go to the doctor. Now i've got some muscle relaxers that should help me heal up faster!

 

Looks pretty cool and got some good shots with it. Bring it to Jambo as there will be tons of things to Drone.

 

for sure! it has some cool feature where it will take a wide angle self shot of a group, orbit around a fixed point and follow my phones gps location. Need to get those figured out and use it a Jambo.

 

Heck yea!

 

Nice meeting you too man.

Great little Video. That footage is so smooth and the quality looks great. Now your making me want to take the plunge and buy a drone! With more practice I bet your shots will be amazing.

With all the vehicles at jambo there will be endless opportunity to get so much good footage! That gif is great.

 

What kind of flight time do you get out of it?
Do you have two sets of batteries, so you can charge one while using the other?

 

It will go for about 25 mins on a charge when it runs a GoPro also. Yep I have two batteries so one can charge while one flys. They take about 50 mins to charge off of the back of the truck.

The controller has a battery also but it lasts a week+ on a charge.

 

Thank you sir! Yep just takes practice. I'm heading to broken bow next month so I'll get some good shots there I assume.

 

Nice what brand/type is it again? I've been looking at DJI Phantoms 4k/1080 models(because they are so popular) and Yuneec(which are supposed to be amazing quality but you pay for it up around $1k, about the same price at the Phantom Pro models).

 

3DR solo smart drone

 

hmm...... bout 300 bones not bad, plus a gopro

 

Nah not bad compared to the others. You get a lot of features. The draw for me was controlling it via a remote rather than your phone.

 

Thanks, looking into it as an option. It seems to have some really great features.

$300 + $99.99 Gimball + $400 GoPro Hero 5 = A competitive price.

Separate controller is a must to me and the modular build of it is really nice feature. Easily replace motors, camera mounts and camera(GoPro) as better things come into the market. Plus the go pro mounts on my windshield when its not being used in the drone. Sadly my current GoPro is not compatible because its to old...

 

There was one for sale in the buy sell trade other on here about a week or so ago.

 

Well if you don't use the gimbal the drone has stock go pro attachment point just attach press record and up you go.

Mines not 100% compatible either I have to press record before I send it up.

 

You the one dropping your truck at Tandem today?

 

Good to know. I haven't fully researched it yet. Sounds like I could still use my Hero 2 using that method to save some money initially. Though I've kinda been looking for a reason to by a Hero 4/5 whatever is out with 4k, been trying not to look at them too much so I didnt spend money.

 

Dropped it Saturday!
